To experience God’s Mercy and in preparation for the provincial community day, half day recollection  was organized by the communities of R.K. Puram and Vasant Vihar jointly on 17th September 2016. 24 catholic teachers of the school participated in the service conducted at Holy Child Auxilium, R.K. Puram. The programme consisted of a Talk by Fr. Joe Arimpoor sdb, Reconciliation service with facilities for individual confessions, and Holy Mass. The whole programme took place from 8am-11am. in an atmosphere of silence and recollection. Fr. Joe spoke on living out mercy by not hoisting the FLAG (Fear, Loss – sadness, Anger, Guilt). Guilt was considered as a common denominator in the FLAG. When it is hoisted, you can be in danger and the lowering of the FLAG (before sunset!) is your decision, he said. Learn to “put a pause button” when you get angry, he added. The day’s programme was concluded with the Holy Mass. During the homily he invited everyone to be rooted in Christ and be nourished by the Word of God in order to be fruitful in our ministry. The teachers expressed their gratitude for the spiritual help given and requested to have similar programmes monthly.

Recollection Day at Auxilium Barasat

 Recollection Day

On 23rd July the catholic students of Auxilium Barasat, had the privilege to spend half day in the company of Jesus. The day started with a hymn to the Holy Spirit followed by divine Mercy chaplet and adoration. Rev. Fr. Thomasine during his talk highlighted the Love and Mercy of God for each of us. He compared God’s love to a web closely interconnected. He invited us to be part of this web connecting with God and with each other, for it is love alone is everlasting. Everyone had the joy of receiving the sacrament of confession and experiencing God’s infinite Mercy. The day concluded with meaningful Eucharistic celebration. We were given refreshments and all went home thanking God and the sisters for this wonderful experience.
